The Acqua Chiara superyacht is splashy in every sense of the word. Delivered in early 2025 by Columbus Yachts, this striking 154-foot luxury yacht redefines modern charter living with not one, but two pools—one at the bow and one at the stern.
Now available for charter through Fraser from €300,000 (approximately $360,000) per week, Acqua Chiara offers an amenity-packed experience designed for guests who expect both performance and indulgence at sea.
A Flagship of the Atlantique Series
Acqua Chiara is the first 154-footer in Columbus Yachts’ Atlantique series, originally based on the yard’s popular 141-foot model. At the request of her Italian owner, the yacht was lengthened to achieve more elegant proportions—without sacrificing efficiency.
Despite the added 13 feet, the vessel remains within the highly desirable 499 GT size category, allowing for expansive volumes while maintaining operational advantages for charter.
Designed for Effortless Charter Living
From inception, the Acqua Chiara superyacht was conceived with charter in mind. Italian design studio Hot Lab handled both the exterior and interior, prioritising intuitive flow, clarity of spaces, and multiple guest experiences happening simultaneously.
According to Hot Lab cofounder and design director Enrico Lumini, the goal was immediate liveability—ensuring guests feel comfortable from the moment they step on board.
A Stern That Steals the Show
The yacht’s stern—an unmistakable signature of the Atlantique line—is arranged across three cascading levels, creating natural zones for:
- Dining
- Lounging
- Swimming
This expansive area features a covered dining space, central lounge, infinity swimming pool, fold-down balconies, and a generous swim platform. Above, the main deck aft hosts an alfresco dining area with uninterrupted sea views, while the sundeck is crowned with a bar and lounge ideal for sunset cocktails.
Two Pools, One Unforgettable Experience
While the stern pool is a showstopper, the bow offers its own indulgence. Forward, guests will find a relaxed lounge area, an open-air cinema, and a second pool—technically a hot tub—perfect for soaking while underway.
Few yachts of this size offer dual pool experiences, making Acqua Chiara a standout in the global charter fleet.
Refined Interiors With Italian Elegance
Inside, Acqua Chiara’s interiors are bright, contemporary, and unmistakably refined. Design highlights include:
- White parquet flooring
- Natural oak ceilings
- Floor-to-ceiling windows flooding spaces with light
The main salon sets the tone with custom-designed sofas and Fendi armchairs, while the full-beam owner’s suite elevates the experience further with dark leather accents, burnished metals, and blue glass details.
The owner’s en suite bathroom is particularly striking, featuring marble finishes and a glass mosaic-clad bath and shower.
Guest Accommodation That Impresses
Located on the lower deck, four guest cabins continue the yacht’s elegant aesthetic, showcasing white marble finishes and mosaic accents—proof that no detail was overlooked, even in secondary spaces.
Built to Cross Oceans in Comfort
Beyond her luxury credentials, Acqua Chiara is built for serious cruising. Powered by two Caterpillar engines producing 1,350 hp, the yacht cruises comfortably at 14.5 knots and boasts a transoceanic range of 3,400 nautical miles.
Zero-speed stabilisers ensure smooth comfort both at anchor and underway, making her equally suited to long passages or relaxed coastal cruising.
A Charter Star Ready for Adventure
After a successful first season in the Mediterranean, the Acqua Chiara superyacht is primed for new itineraries and unforgettable voyages. With standout design, rare amenities, and proven performance, she represents a new benchmark in modern luxury yachting.
For those seeking a yacht that truly delivers on lifestyle, scale, and experience—Acqua Chiara makes waves in all the right ways.
